The wreckage of a small plane thought to be carrying Mexican-American singing superstar Jenni Rivera was found in northern Mexico and there were no apparent survivors, authorities said Sunday night.

Jorge Domene, spokesman for the Nuevo Leon state government, told Milenio television Sunday that the plane left Monterrey, Mexico, about 3:30 a.m. local time after a concert there and aviation authorities lost contact with the craft about 10 minutes later. It was to arrive in Toluca, which is outside Mexico City, about an hour later.
